INGTONS

Ongoing 

Words - A set of sounds and symbols that exist purely to point to other things. The ability to articulate ourselves has obviously been critical for humanity's development but paradoxically, language can be completely ineffective to express the true nature of things. "The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao" Luo Tzu

For some reason I have always had the ability to word associate in almost real time. It's a blessing and a curse. But it has made me realise that language is just another game to play. By placing the suffix 'ingtons' at the end of almost any word it seems to add a mix of both class and levity.

For that reason my friends and I have enjoyed recording and documenting any we come across over the years. Here's a selection.
